For nervous children who are unwilling to go to school and have a lot of anticipation anxiety, Gelsemium is well indicated. For those who lack confidence in new situations and are averse to trying anything new, Lycopodium is a good remedy. If your child is clingy with behaviour that has reverted, including sleep or toileting issues (new baby in the house?) then Pulsatilla may be the remedy to put him/her back on track.
